Time Out says "skylab2000 is rave legend." Urb has called skylab2000 live performances "incredible" and "fantastic." Djs such as Dave Dresden [Gabriel & Dresden] call the Rollergirl single "the bomb of all bombs." In the UK, the BBC's Pete Tong chose Auburn as an "Essential Selection."

These are just a tiny sample of the compliments collected on the road skylab2000 has traveled. Since 1994, Dennis Barton has been making hard hitting dance music and traveling city to city, playing for the best audiences in the world. The twist - skylab2000 is not a DJ or a 'laptop' band. This is a fully LIVE electronic music performance. With a full set of synthesis, samplers, mixers, effects units and a computer on stage, a skylab2000 show is a unique experience. This music is made live, with real vocals, changing to the crowds needs and creating a ride to remember. The sound is an eclectic blend of hard house, breaks, techno, acid, and a bit of trance.

After living in London and New York, skylab2000 is now planted in the Los Angeles area, but playing live shows has taken skylab2000 around the world! Japan, Hong Kong, Istanbul, Russia, Puerto Rico, Montreal, Canada, Molvania, Mexico and more! In America, skylab2000 has played in almost every state, including shows in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, Miami, Las Vegas, Memphis, Anchorage and so many more.

Releases? The Auburn single got massive play by DJs such as Sasha, Digweed, Carl Cox, and Keoki. "Shak" got a similar reaction. On the mp3.com music site, the Rollergirl track became the number one most downloaded songs overall, with around ONE MILLION downloads. Many vinyl and CD singles and compilation tracks exist, and tons of free music is given away online as well. Even video games soundtracks from major companies get the skylab2000 touch. Microsoft's "Amped" and Konami's new "Dance Dance Revolution Supernova" have skylab2000 tracks in them. You can also find tracks on compilation CDs, on iTunes, and on mix CDs by Thomas Michael, Superstar DJ Keoki, Grover, DJ Psycho-Bitch, John Kelly, Sol Brothers, and Taylor, on labels such as Moonshine, Koch, JDJ, Phatt Phunk, 3am Records, Brainiak (UK), City of Angels, Genesis Project, and many more.
